Nintendo and its download list made quite a comeback this week, as we've already seen with the four WiiWare and one Virtual Console titles added, but DS fans can pride themselves with an equal joy, as five new tittles have been added to their console. The list is kicked off by Oscar in Movieland, a platformer where Oscar takes a step up from his adventures in Toyland, and comes to the big screen.   Players will be able to navigate the environment using Wings and Springy Boots, but they'll also have a magical Yo Yo to act as an offensive weapon. Running through all kind of possible scenarios, from anything from cartoons down to horrors and war movies, Oscar will keep gamers entertained for quite a while before they decide to put down their DS. The game is priced at 800 DSi Points and is published by Virtual Playground.

The second DSi addition is Link 'n' Launch, a game published by Nintendo and priced at 500 DSi Points. The puzzle game will gave players find a fueling solution for their rocket, as they must clear a path that connects their ship to the fuel source. With a Training mode to get you started, a time-trial based Mission mode and a special Puzzles mode, the game will tease your brain through each level.

The next DS game is Fieldrunners, a tower defense game from Subatomic Studios. The game plays out as any other game of it's genre, boasting impressive graphics and a large array of enemies, ground ones as well as aerials. The game is priced at 500 DSi Points, and if it stays true to other tower defense games, it should provide a very addictive experience.

The forth game coming to the DSiWare is Sudoku 4Pockets, a Sudoku game that features up to 3,600 puzzles and a lot of extra features. There are three difficulty levels Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, and players will even get a personal assistant. Kiku will be alongside gamers every step of the way. She will tell you if you've entered an incorrect number, will offer you hints and even explain and detail moves and tactics. The game is published by 4Pockets.com and is priced at 500 DSi Points.

The last game to be added to the DSiWare this week is Gamelion's Extreme Hangman, a 200 DSi Points that takes a slightly different spin to the classic pen-and-paper word-guessing game. With over 2,000 words in various categories and three difficulty levels, players will have to guess the correct word before the unlucky Hangmen suffers his ultimate demise, be it at the end of a noose, of a rifle barrel or by simply being erased or strangulated.
